Natalie Coughlin is very competitive and even with a medal count at 3 golds, 4 silvers, 5 bronze, she is still training harder and reaching for more.

Natalie is one of the many women who has seen her career cut off when she was one of the top dozen swimmers in the entire USA because of perceptions and pressures that she was "over the hill" BUT one of the few of the modern era (possibly along with with Dana Vollmer?) who remained defiantly unbroken. Here is a list of others who left broken, either due to eating disorders, psychological breakdowns, injury, or lack of economic backing to keep in full-time training: 1) Missy Franklin (shoulder injuries) 2) Kara Lynn Joyce (written off prior to London as "over the hill"; failed to make final) 3) Katie Hoff (amazing set of health complications due to stress) 4) Rebecca Soni (sidelined by back injury, left sport) 5) Cassidy Bayer (eating disorder - we will never know her full potential to even have a professional career since she was edged out in qualifying for Rio and as a fly specialist was left home.) 6) Michelle Coombs (yeah, you probably never heard of her... that's kinda the point. Anyone with a kid in competitive swimming who thinks it will punch them a golden ticket to free college should read this story here: www.recordonline.com/article/20071225/SPORTS/712250313 ) I think it's worthy to mention Vollmer, who medaled in Rio after taking time off to have a baby. In a quote on NBC Sports, she said, "“There were times in my career when I struggled with body image, anxiety, depression, handling pressure, and navigating my own extreme expectations for myself... There were plenty of times I could have walked away from the sport. I’m proud that I did not!” I think the real question is why women in the sport of swimming are so pressured to walk away from the sport, AND why, after now having an entire generation of retires super-elite swimmers in the USA, have we not passed the reigns of women's swimming over to them for a more accountable, supportive, and sustainable approach to career swimming for young women?!

Wow this is great someone who likes bodysurfing as much as I do. And knows about altering the body to go with the wave. There's a lot to it. You can adjust the angle of your hand to turn left or right. Keep your hands curved till you go over the wave , and flex or harden/straighten your body depending on the strength of the wave. It's really a matter of power and flow of energy. When you're body surfing you can feel the power of the wave. And whether it is too strong, the right amount to carry you, or if it's weak and dying off. You have to match the wave... hold your position in the wave, or get yourself infront of it. When you feel like you're falling off the wave you need to put your energy (strokes,kick) back into the wave to balance the flow of energy.

its not sexist thing...its because you are 30+..same applys to men...antony ervin won the 50 but thats it...its nature..i myself am swimmer and i wish i could be on the top level my whole life..but its just what it is...you can still train as much as hard as you want but dont expect to beat 20+ years old swimmers...age is not just a number..
@lemonidask5 жыл бұрын
well it would be still "sexist" thing if he told you the same thing for a man????because i believe the same for a 30+ male with family....As much as i would love to watch michael phelps swim for an eternity it just cannot happen..he is 30+ years old,with two children and wife..Even if he was physically able to perform like he did in his 20s,with the same amount of training its just not right...his kids and wife cannot postpone their lifes just because he doesnt want to grow up to... So your supervisor was right.even if she was capable of doing it she chose to make a family....and family and swimming elite cannot coexist...24h/day are not enough to fit in 5 hours per day training minimum+2h napping through sessions,cooking,cleaning and raising a kid.

@peterlangdon14447 жыл бұрын
I think it was more the expectation that she would be 'of mature age' and be expected to become pregnant and start a family. For men, they aren't immediately expected to focus on paternity once they hit 30, they have a bit more leniency in age (seeing as men typically marry younger women). Women get a bit more pressure to get married as they approach that age.
